I have submitted the following post at frdb:

\\PS Ray I have encountered a really, really serious glitch: Unlike other sites I visit, frdb evidently doesn't allow a non-member to access a thread from a link. For two years now using the address bar I've been sending links from frdb to threads in other sites and to my correspondents all over the world, but it was only a few days ago I learned that at least one of these sites none of them who weren't members of frdb could thus access the thread

You may want to fix this glitch as it makes frdb virtually worthless to many of us

Here is Ray's reply and my response following it. Was I correct in my assumption

I had understood that standard practice was to prevent a non-member from contributing a post, which f course makes sense, but to let anyone access threads to just read because otherwise how can you interest a potential participant in joining up
